Case Based MCQs

Case I : Read the following text and answer the following questions.

There are three main justifications for imposing a tax on a specific good. Firstly, it raises money for the government. Secondly, its use infiicts costs on third parties that are not factored into its price. The third rationale for imposing sin taxes is to discourage the use of undesirable goods. Critics of such taxes have argued that they are inefiective because the goods they target tend to be additive, making consumers relatively unresponsive to changes in price. In fact, study after study has shown that sin taxes do tend to reduce consumption.
Without intervention from the government, the economy will produce too many goods that foul up the atmosphere and that benefits both manufacturers and consumers, but harms everyone who breathes in the byproducts. Proponents of so-called "sin taxes" apply this logic to goods deemed to be socially undesirable. Many studies have a tendency to overstate the magnitude of such externalities, since they present gross costs instead of net ones.
